Buckling and vibration of cross-ply laminated non-circular cylindrical shells

Thermal buckling of laminated cross-ply oval cylindrical shells

“…Recently, the studies pertaining to mechanics of cylindrical shells with non-circular cross-section have been reviewed by Soldatos [12] and it can be concluded that the buckling analysis of anisotropic laminated noncircular shells are rather sparsely treated in the literature [13][14][15][16][17][18]. The available studies are concerned with the mechanical loading situations considering axial compression/external pressure.…”

“…While investigating fairly thin laminated non-circular case, Donnell-type classical shell theory has been used in Refs. [13][14][15][16], whereas Love-type parabolic shear deformation shell theory is employed in Refs. [17,18].…”

Nonlinear Deformation of Shells with Finite Angles of Rotation and Low Elastoplastic Strains

“…Since a bifurcation load in the plastic range does not lead to buckling because the load is increased in the sense of Shanley, a study was made of how this affects the postcritical behavior and sensitivity to imperfections of compressible rods and shallow shells. The effect of plasticity in the case of substantial changes in geometry was numerically analyzed in [6,12].Currently, applications that stimulate studies in this field have intensively been developed [9,14,17,18].Here we will develop an incremental approach to the formulation and solution of the problem of the nonlinear deformation of shells subject to compressive loads that cause buckling and strong bending in the plastic range. It is based on nonlinear relations between strains and displacements that are applicable at great angles of rotation.…”

Nonstationary Dynamics of Longitudinally Reinforced Elliptic Cylindrical Shells

“…This procedure has been used very rarely. The free and forced vibrations of smooth elliptic cylindrical shells or the vibrations of reinforced circular cylindrical shells were mainly studied in [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. There are very few studies on the dynamic behavior of reinforced elliptic cylindrical shells under nonstationary loads.…”
